Does Mantis use UTF-8 exclusively for handling strings?

If so, is there any reason in the tables to use text datatypes that don't support UTF-8?

Specifically, I'm looking at the use in SQL Server of TEXT and VARCHAR datatypes, when NVARCHAR(MAX) or NVARCHAR would seem more appropriate.

Thanks!

Hello, all:

Looking at the Mantis install script for SQL Server, it looks like base tables are created in their original form, then are modified as the script goes on (columns added/dropped, indexes added/dropped).

Is this because Mantis is based on an ORM? If so, which does it use?

Why not just ...

Is this on install? I was getting similar errors on installation.

Where are you getting the error, and what exactly is the error?

Thanks,
-Ken
